Madden 12 Load Screens

Desean Jackson's TD celebration, that was penalized incorrectly, versus the Cowboys in Dallas, or Arlington.

To be honest, I just want an option to turn off the loading screens and make the game boot straight into the menu. I've never been a fan of Maddens loading screens or menus, so the less time I'm able to spend in watching and navigating through them the better.

Doesn't pressing the A button capture what you are looking?

I think he meant when you first turn the game on. I don't need to watch the intro video, then press start, then hit a button to skip "going up top"... just get me to the menu.

You can't be serious.

Technicalities aside, simple common sense should tell you that Jackson's backwards fall into the ez was as clear an example of unsportsmanlike conduct as you will ever see. There is absolutely no chance that the NFL would allow an act like that to be glorified in an officially licensed game.

Besides, who wants to be forced to look at some runt of an Eagle every time the game loads?

I know exactly what he meant.

This comes up every year.

I watch the intro the first few times and then from then on I hit the start button. What's so difficult about hitting start a few times to get to the main menu?

It's just a few button presses.

To each their own, to me, it's no biggie because after the first few times, I'm not watching the intro after hitting the start button a few times.

Key Matchups

With commentary and photos of the key players going at it in the game, sort of like NBA 2k11 ..

Could add stats and team record, weather. stadium, team logos etc.

.. or just try to emulate how and NFL game comes on after a commercial

Yet you had to comment

There are many things that Tiburon needs to address with their games, but not having a "boot to main menu" option is just laziness in my opinion. It's like having a computer that shows the Welcome video every time you boot it up.

I'm a fan when companies/people making things more efficient and streamlined, but Tiburon has never gotten that nod from me. The Madden 11 loading 'experience' even had "press the button" to get to the next "press the button" moments and their menu design doesn't get any stars in my book.
